The BTEC qualifications in Sport have been designed to build on learning from Key Stage 4 and for those who may wish to explore a vocational route at level 3 alongside other A-Level studies. This course has been developed to allow both progressions for those students who studied Sport at level 2 as well as a new opportunity for those students who have an interest in the sports industry. In the extended certificate you will study 4 units of varied topics and for the diploma there are 9 units of study.
5 x 5-9 grades including some knowledge through sports related courses and qualifications would be desirable. This course may be selected either as a single option, equating to a level 3 extended certificate (10 hours per fortnight) or as a double option, equating to a full foundation diploma (20 hours per fortnight).
The assessment approach for these BTEC qualifications allows students to receive feedback on their progress throughout the course as they provide evidence towards meeting the unit assessment and grading criteria. It is important that during the course students take on the role of being employed within the sport and active leisure industry when completing assignments. This is achieved firstly by setting assignments with a scenario which reflects tasks/projects that sports employees would be undertaking in the workplace. Evidence for assessment may be generated through a range of activities including workplace assessment, role play and presentations. The assessment on this course is also taken from a written exam which is externally assessed and a pre- released task which is again assessed externally.
